Rolling Loud Coming Back to California in 2027: Co-Founder Matt Zingler Discusses Its Return
“We don’t have competition," Zingler tells Billboard of the stalwart festival brand, which is returning to San Bernardino next December.
Hip-hop festival Rolling Loud is set to return to California next December for its eighth edition, with three days of music and festivities at Nos Events Center in San Bernardino, California, from December 10-12, 2027. Co-founder and CEO Matt Zingler tells Billboard, "San Bernardino has always been a great location to do the shows for us.
There's a ton of fans out there." Previously hosting the festival in 2017 and 2021, Nos Events Center offers an ideal setting for Rolling Loud, as it allows for fewer expenses and congestion for fans compared to major cities. Zingler explains, "Sometimes, when you're in major cities, it's more expensive for fans and also more congested."
The festival, which was held at Hollywood Park in Inglewood from 2023 to 2025, will mark a return to Southern California after cancelled Australian dates. Despite recent setbacks in Australia, Rolling Loud continues to thrive after more than a decade, with Zingler expressing little competition in booking talent. He states, "We're the biggest hip-hop festival brand."
With an expected attendance of 65,000 fans in 2025, Rolling Loud India is set to return for its second year in Mumbai from December 12-13, 2026.
